The blog post, You Know You're From The Quad Cities When..., was posted back in February and stirred some laughter, some comments, some emotion (good memories), and some questions. This post is about answering one of the questions. The question is, why would someone stand in line for over an hour to buy "sculpted concrete"?
So, after some prodding by Mike, I decided to finally write about Davenport, Iowa's Famous Isabel Bloom!
Davenport, Iowa is home to the Isabel Bloom legacy! Click Here to learn more about the history of Isabel Bloom. The pieces above are called "Flower Picks".
These pieces of art are sculpted, forms are made, concrete is cast, and then they are all individually hand painted.
This one is one of the tiniest they make and it weighs only a few ounces.
The bottom of each of them (even this tiny one) are signed and dated.
This is one of the largest sculptures called Garden Angel and weighes in at 60 pounds!
It is a beautiful addition to any garden and the birds love the small water bowl!
This Angel is beautiful and is one of my favorites!
The attention to detail on her is magnificent!
There is a simple apple and even a cute little bunny!
The turtle is a cute addition as well!
There are many sculptures created by Isabel Bloom to choose from. All of these above are in our collection.
This is just one more reason why Davenport, Iowa has Quality of Life and is a Great Place to Live!
There you go, Mike!
Enjoy!
Lucky :)
